If the couple do take this route, then they will pass the likes of the Lace Market Hotel, Cock and Hoop, Brass Monkey, Pitcher and Piano and Kringle's Toy Emporium - where there are some seriously VIP views available.

Royal family fans, celeb spotters or those just keen to be a part of history can guarantee a good view of the couple's arrival by being one of the first of 30 people to bag a spot on the Pitcher and Piano's outdoor terrace which overlooks the Nottingham Contemporary.

Alternatively if you fancy forking out £10 you can grab first-floor views of the road (and Royal walkabout) at Kringle's Toy Emporium, set up in the former Curious Townhouse building.

If you fancy being in the thick of the atmosphere on the ground The Lace Market Hotel's Cock and Hoop pub will be keeping well-wishers going by serving hot drinks, soup and sausage cobs from £2 a pop.

The venue's general manager Steve Cook has only been working at the hotel (which is fully booked for tomorrow night) for two weeks and can't believe his good fortune.

"It's amazing," the 39-year-old told the Post. "I've been here two weeks today and already been to an awards ceremony and now the Prince is coming to see us. Nottingham really is the best, I'm going to expect it always to be like this."

Take a look below for our run down of some of the best places to enjoy the royal walkabout (no matter how short it may be).

The historic venue will be opening its next door pub the Cock and Hoop from 8am for those wishing to soak up the atmosphere with a hot drink or beer.

Due to security reasons the cosy boozer's outdoor area will not be open to the public but staff will be serving up hot takeaway drinks, cups of soup, sausage cobs and bacon rolls to chilly well-wishers with prices starting from £2.

Sales manager Amy Derrick said: "We can't let people into our outdoor space so we are coming to them and making sure they stay warm, watered and fed while they wait for Prince Harry and Meghan.

"It's great exposure for us obviously but more importantly for the city."

Pitcher and Piano
